Honestly, I find videos like this far more effective than documentaries. They package an important message in an easy-to-swallow form, that’s both highly entertaining, but also subtly makes you think about how people get treated, wars get started, and to look at both sides of the picture instead of just one.

Just another thing that sequential art does more effectively well than any other medium. A live action film would be too brutal. We (hopefully) wish newspapers stick to facts. And a short story or novel would have a more difficult time establishing the visual humor and iconography.

Plus, I just love the old school animation style. I wish more cartoons were still drawn like this!
